Big Rig Jig Sculpture at Burning Man 2007

Highways Stars was recorded on Friday, September 17th and features John Bohannon from New York City’s Ancient Ocean and Justin Wright from Kansas City’s Expo 70. John plays guitar. Justin plays guitar and Moog synthesizer. This performance was the first time John and Justin ever met, much less played together. Nashville is the first stop on their 2010 tour. If they’re coming to a town near you, do yourself a favor and check them out. It’s a pretty fantastic live show.

I’ve been trying to get Kelli Shay Hix and Kyle Hamlett of Lylas and Styches on the show for a long time, and this week it finally came together with podcast 32, Stone in Stream. Kelli plays violin and saw. Kyle plays banjo and xylophone. This episode also features Square People Jazz Maturity‘s Tommy Stangroom on drums and first-timer Elle Long on ukulele, xylophone, and electronic toys. First timer Israel Abernathy plays acoustic guitar.

We recorded Stone in Stream on August 20th in the ~ORE~ Studios. We were experimenting with real tape delay — a 15 foot stretch of half-inch tape draped from my reel to reel machine to a pole in the middle of the room. The tape loop, which kept layering over itself due to a covered erase head, gives the episode a dirty and devolving quality — a sharp contrast to the pretty acoustic improv. Stone in Stream reminds me of 60’s psyche folk imploding, and I mean that as praise.

We recorded for an hour and fifteen minutes. For purposes of pacing, I edited the episode down to forty minutes. I hated to  give up some of the outtakes, including an inspired magazine-clipping recitation; but I feel like the show is stronger for the editing.  Sadly, Melody Holt was a casualty of the cutting. She sang and recited magazine clippings on one of the excised parts.  She also provided invaluable assistance throughout the show. I did the live mixing and post production.

Tonight we bring you podcast episode 31, Ionize. This episode is a few days late because, as always, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to editing. Ionize was the 12th episode of the WRVU era, recorded on April 20th, 2008 live in the WRVU studios. This was a solo scoop & loop show, meaning, I made the show armed with two cd turntables, a looping pedal, and some effects. I recorded all of the samples from my brother’s Alesis Ion synthesizer he had just given me to sell. After he heard the episode, I’m proud to say he decided to keep it.

Ionize was originally just over an hour.  For this podcast, I edited it down to a much more solid 30 minutes.

There won’t be a Theatre Intangible next week, because I’ll be at the sci-fi, fantasy, and culture convention Dragoncon in Atlanta, Georgia, mostly lurking about the Skeptic, Science, and Podcasting tracks. Yay me! If you’re also attending, drop me a line at tony@theatreintangible.com. Stay tuned the week after for a brand new improv with members of the Nashville experimental folk band Lylas.

And without further ado, here’s Ionize.

For the 30th Theatre Intangible podcast, we bring you Climax of the Dodo, the precipice between noise and melody, staring Brady Sharp on guitar, Matt Hamilton on guitar, Dylan Simon (Mass at Dawn) on Arp Odyssey synth and Echoplex, and Robert Carter (Bobobobobob) on Korg MS-20. I did the live mixing and threw in a little tremolo, reverb, and looping. We recorded this last night in the ~ORE~ studios. Enjoy.
